Last night I made a whole roasted chicken, tossed some cubed butternut squash in coconut oil and roasted that as well, and cooked some greens fresh from our CSA to make an amazingly easy and tasty side dish. Here’s how I prepared the greens:

Peggy over at The Primal Parent recently compiled an excellent list of paleo/primal blogs that focus on family. Peggy’s resource list includes some amazing folks who are sure to help you and your family as you continue on your paleo journey. Thank you Peggy for putting this together!
